What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
January 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $8.99. It has been discounted 5 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 53 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 30 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Raft ($19.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Medieval Engineers ($9.99, scores 2).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 26 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 857 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 2,550 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
this game is ass there has not been an update in 5 years its filled with bugs and the gameplay is very stale
As much as I loved this game when I was younger, this game is nowhere near playable in this current day and age. It has been effectively abandoned by it's developers, the game does not launch unless you enter a specific code in the games settings, and the game is full of bugs and glitches that make the gameplay near impossible to deal with. I would love to see someone create a game similar to this, or a...
this is my childhood game i would watch kindly keyin play this and i would only dream to play it one day at the game is fun but the old version is lowkey better

Feed and Grow: Fish scores 39/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/429050/feed-and-grow-fishThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
